Karate is a type of martial art developed in the Ryukyu Islands, developed from indigenous fighting methods called "te" (literally "hand") and Chinese kenpo. A karate practitioner is called a "karateka".
Karate is primarily a striking art which uses punching, kicking, knee and elbow strikes, and open-handed techniques such as knife-hands and ridge-hands. Grappling, locks, restraints, throws, and vital point strikes are taught in some styles. Karate can be practiced as budo (self-development), as a sport, as a combat sport, or as self-defense training; Traditional karate places emphasis on budo. Modern Japanese style training emphasizes the psychological elements incorporated into a proper kokoro (attitude) such as perseverance, fearlessness, virtue, and leadership skills. Sport karate places emphasis on exercise and competition. The use of weapons are a important training activity in some styles. These are the techniques.
The user rears the left fist back with the side of the right hand raised at the opponent, then, while stepping forward with the right foot, uses the left fist to execute a powerful punch with the right fist cocked back at the hip, striking the solar plexus. This attack travels outward from the body in a straight line and finishes with the punch in line with your centre of the body. It also involves a step because the step puts all of your body weight behind the punch.
Hyou-jouken (Panther Uppercut)
The user places both fists at his sides and upturns them, cocking back for the attack. Then, he would launch his left fist at the opponent's chin, sending them high into the air. This attack keeps Yugo's balance using the uppercut. At the end of the technique, the inside of the fist points upwards, the arm is raised diagonally high, and the opponent is hit with seiken.
Hiyaku-ryu Kyaku (Dragon Leap Kick)
The user forces the weight of their legs to lift themselves up off the ground, leaping forward in a sideways position and executes an overhead heel kick, slamming their leg on the opponent's head. This attack uses the power of the heel to inflict great damage, focusing on the finesse of this technique.
Inazuma Jokutou (Lightning Sword Kick)
With immense speed, the user crouches and dashes forward, thrusting their left elbow forward at the opponent's gut, causing damage to multiple ribs, with the right fist cocked back at the hip. This attack has great speed, and can make a great opening technique, using the fist-chest interface as a
pivot, and offering several advantages over punches.
